Gold and Silver is the ONLY Legal tender per US Constitution Article One section's 8 and 10. The paper dollar is a criminal monopolist fraud 1st because it's a monopoly. You like having one kind of money? Well two should be even better. Gold for the rich and Silver for the poor. The cost of this monopoly far outweigh the benefits. The monopoly can hold the peoples government hostage to bad service and criminal conduct as we have just witnessed ( again).
Adam Smith said "the free market is the foundation of liberty. It takes a free market commodity legal tender to serve as money for the free market and it takes two types of legal tender to prevent an illicit monopoly by one market dominator or the others. One type of legal tender is like riding a unicycle but two provides the minimum dymanic stability.
2nd the bicameral system of the Constitution was set up the preserve the balance between the Free States and the Federal government reserving in Art. 1 sec 10 to the states alone the authority to "make nothing legal tender but Gold and Silver coin" which they are in turn prohibited from minted as that is delegated to the Federal authority "to set the standards of weights and measures". All lfree market economy is local from the community upward and it is best regulated by the States Republican form of government.
Last; these laws were enacted to prevent an illicit influence upon the Federal government by a British style Central Bank that serviced the crowns military industrial complex and undermined the check and balance of taxation by representation in the House of Commons rendering it ineffective. That's why we elect House representitives every two years in our country and have a bi-cameral legislature. That measure of papar money applied to Gold is a charletans fraud. Sorry folks the emporer aint god and his paper clothes are covering up a criminal thief you may have to die for in his army one day as your fathers before you.
